oing to revolutionize not only how we humans look at oceans and the earth, but eventually in the time of our children's children the way we manage our entire planet," commented Professor John Delaney, with the School of Oceanography at University of Washington.

Said Dr. Holly Given, program director for Ocean Observing activities at JOI, signing these contracts is a major step toward realizing the dreams of the hundreds of oceanographers who have been planning the OOI Network for more than ten years. JOI welcomes UCSD and UW as partners in this challenge.

A final award for the coastal and global scale nodes of the OOI is expected in August 2007.
